The fifth season is approaching- the Maple Sugarin’ Season! Bring your families, bring your friends to celebrate this sappy gift from the trees at Riveredge’s annual Maple Sugarin’ Festival on March 15th!

Choose your adventure as you hike through the maple forest where you can tap a tree, trade nature items for maple candies, observe various means of syrup production through history, complete a sappy scavenger hunt, and create a nature-based craft. Upon arrival at the Sugarbush House, enjoy live music while you sip sap tea, or maple-sugar rimmed beer for the adults, and taste the Riveredge special- pancakes & pickles! You’ll learn just how sap is made into golden & sweet maple syrup.

What to Expect: You can look forward to activities like:
– Live Music from 1-3pm
– Tree Tappin’ Trading Post
– Maple Legends, Stories, and Songs
– Try-it-Yourself Tree Tappin’
– Crafting with Natural Materials
– Evaporator Demonstration
– Delicious Treats! A pancake & pickle in syrup is provided with your registration. Additional pancakes will be available for purchase, as well as… Hot chocolate, Specialty Maple Sugar Coffee, Maple Sugar Rimmed Beer, Sap Tea, and Popcorn.

Parking and Check-in: Parking will be at Newburg Fireman’s Park, and two bus shuttles will be running. There will be spots reserved for those with limited mobility at the Visitor Center. Check-in or register at the Riveredge Visitor Center.

Timing: The event runs from 12-4pm on Saturday March 15th, come and go as you please! Live music at the Sugarbush House from 1-3pm.

Accessibility: We will have accessible parking reserved at the Visitor Center. Riveredge also has an all-terrain wheelchair available to reserve for the event at no cost! Learn more or reserve a wheelchair here.
